the police department is asking for money to fund a system like this. last time was in october, but city leaders did not like the idea because it would have used more than $160,000 in community development block grant funds for a similar project, but that's money intended for low income housing, not cameras. there are also other places in the bay area that already use this kind of technology. we've heard about it before in lauren county, tiberon, they put scanners and cameras on the two roads that go in and out of town and the city of piedmont, that installed automatic license plate readers along its board we are oakland already. the recordings in the new system would be stored on a secure server at the department for 30 days. everything else would be purged. some of these locations would also include automatic license plate readers. and that information could be stored for a year and even longer in it's tied to with a crime. so a lot of debate here, the

juvenile proceedings and would require a mandatory two-year sentence for those convicted of sexual assaulting someone who is eithering development tally disabled or as in ah drink's case, unconscious. >> ah drink was able to fight back her attackers, it would have gone to an adult court. it would have been open proceedings. they would have had sexual offender status, but because she couldn't fight back, it was treated as a lesser crime. and that's outrageous. >> we think that the entire bill really goes against the purpose of the juvenile justice system. the goal of the system is rehabilitation of the youth that includes holding him or her accountable for their actions. >> reporter: are the assembly public safety committee will decide whether or not to push forward senate bill 838 also known as ah drink's law.
